Although this was absurd, for the well-traveled members of the First Team, such scenes had become common, and they were no longer surprised. Meanwhile, backstage, information about this guest began to surface involuntarily in Jiang Tianming’s mind.

She made a gesture of rubbing her temples, and Zhou Xixi and Xiuniang obediently shut their mouths, sitting there without daring to utter a sound.

A rare look of gravity appeared in Chu You’s eyes. The sword intent previously comprehended by Qi Qingshan seemed powerful, but in Chu You’s view, it was merely stronger than ordinary sword intent.

Since arriving at the Tang family, Tang Ji had rarely appeared in public. His residence was unique, located within the Tang family’s secret prison. For nearly twenty years, he had remained there, never leaving until three years ago, when Tang Zhengui had grown up and he was finally permitted to emerge.

Even though the probability of producing a major star at the Beijing Film Academy was far higher than at other schools, having it actually happen to oneself still felt quite surreal.

Yet, what made people laugh and cry was that among the four guests backstage, everyone except Jiang Tianming turned to look at him in unison, their faces filled with deep astonishment.

The next moment, a melodious sword hum rippled within Chu You’s body, and immediately after, a tangible, physical sword intent slowly emerged from within him.

From the moment lunch ended, they began killing chickens, slaughtering fish, and boiling ribs, as if the entire day were dedicated to preparing for the New Year’s Eve dinner. No matter how the times changed, for the people of this nation, the Spring Festival remained the most important holiday; this was no mere saying.

Chonglou Yue was not discouraged. He looked ahead, following the gaze of King Ji. Looking past the irregular green-tiled roofs of the Prince Ji estate, one could see the layered red palace walls and gray tiled roofs stretching into the distance, rising and falling without end, seemingly beyond the reach of even the wind.

But this was no long-term solution! Gradually, the oil floating on the sea burned out, and the sea monsters hidden beneath the depths finally began to leap out of the water to attack the survivors clinging to floating debris.

It had been a long time since he had returned to the West Gate, and he had no idea what the situation was like inside. It was useless for him to dwell on it here; the most crucial thing was to handle Wang Yunpeng’s matter first.

Bo Yanhe had silver on her, but it was money she had given him—though it wasn't really hers, it counted as being provided by her.

He had not intended to be overly calculating with an ordinary person, but since the other party had provoked him time and again, he had no choice.

"That is no problem. The total length of the roads that need to be built within your territory is over two thousand eight hundred kilometers. We can only provide loans covering the cost of two thousand eight hundred li." Mi Bao’er paused here before continuing.

Although the two brothers dodged in time, chunks of flesh were sliced from their left and right arms, respectively, by that single shot.

Lin Xi’s eyes were dazed. Her mind was filled with the image of Chu Nian telling her to leave first while they were above the waterfall; she was simply unable to consider anything else.

Actually, her wine was not good. It was unclear what was added to it; the wine was bitter, yet the alcohol content was high, and it had a strong kick. However, because it was diluted with water, it had no flavor, so few people were willing to buy it.

Liu Qianjun was silent for a moment, and when he looked up again, it was clear he was moved. Just as he opened his mouth to speak, he saw Fang Qingwei before him staring at him with horror, before retreating explosively.

There were many mercenaries in this world. They were law-abiding enough while in the cities, but once they reached the unregulated wilderness, many mercenary groups were no different from bandits. Li Mu could tell from the one-eyed man’s actions just now that this mercenary group were no good people.

Especially judging by the experience of someone who claimed to be invincible throughout Yuncheng County, this combination technique was truly formidable.

Black Sunglasses shed his previous relaxed demeanor, moving stealthily with the white snake in hand, occasionally looking up and peering at his surroundings. Such places seemed quiet, but everyone knew that deep within lay too many dangers.

I went home to get my things, and then it took me twenty-five minutes to finish everything before heading to Bai Feng’s house.

Behind Black Sunglasses was a deep, sunken eye socket; the hollow wound was covered by skin that had lost its support, and that scar dominated his entire right eye.

The cultivators of Cangshan, who survived, had already been hidden by him in a safe place. He had to face the pursuit of the Li Ying alone and complete this tribulation.

In order to reclaim the Source of the Holy Fire and the First Divine Sword, nearly all the experts of the Japanese cultivation world were mobilized; it was not just Izumo who had come.

Although this scrap of iron was not the most dazzling Transformer, it was the safest. Among the Transformers, Ironhide was Optimus Prime’s loyal guard, responsible for protecting all important things. Though his manners were slightly rough, he was actually kind-hearted and gentle.

"Continue to the meditation room and sit in contemplation until you have truly calmed your mind." The abbot’s expression was firm and brooked no argument.

Beiming Xuanzun actually felt a trace of fear toward Lian Haiping’s persistence. He did not know why; it was the first time he had encountered a cultivator so focused and stubborn, almost to the point of madness.
